E2F-dependent transcription determines replication capacity and S phase length

DNA replication is tightly regulated during S phase of the cell cycle to ensure timely and accurate genome duplication. Here, the authors reveal that E2F-dependent transcription determines the maximal amount of DNA a cell is able to synthesise per unit time throughout S phase.
